BBC Radio 3 - Twenty Minutes, Going Underground

Petroc Trelawny experiences the compelling sounds of the London Underground.

To mark the 150th anniversary of the London Underground, train enthusiast Petroc Trelawny explores the lesser-known sounds of the tube.

2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the London Underground, and to celebrate this illustrious milestone, Twenty Minutes explores the lesser-known music of the tube - not just the buskers and the classical music in ticket halls, but the strange music of the machinery involved in the world's first underground railway. Train enthusiast Petroc Trelawny experiences the compelling and sometimes overwhelming soundworld of the tube, with writer Jonathan Glancey and Robert Elms.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
